Nigerian rapper and singer Falz has reignited a controversy surrounding his views on fornication. In a recent interview with Arise TV, Falz clarified his stance, stating that he no longer identifies as a Christian and instead practices a “religion of love.” According to Falz, fornication is not considered a sin in this context.

Falz questioned the traditional views on premarital sex, arguing that consensual relationships between unmarried individuals shouldn’t be viewed as problematic. He emphasized that his perspective is rooted in his personal beliefs and values.

Popular Nigerian music video director, TG Omori has shared some insights into his journey as a cinematographer.

He revealed that he only started making profits from shooting music videos in 2023 despite being one of the most sought-after directors in the country years before then.

He further revealed that he was in a bad production debt for five years and was only able to pay it off through money he made from his brand.

The music video director disclosed this during an interactive session with fans on X on Tuesday.

A fan asked, “How do you know how much the entire production would cost and still properly infuse your own profit so as not to undercharge or overcharge?”

He replied, “I only started making profits in 2023. Every time I’m losing money from pick up shoots or something! Budget is never enough, in fact I was in bad production debt for 5years. Just had to live with it, I was paying up and taking more to cover up. I was only able to pay it off through money my brand and personality was fetching me. It’s a though life for creatives. Hug a creative beside you today.”

Omori later confirmed the payment in a social media post.
